All crockpots are set to too high a temperature for my taste. Ruins beef.

A regular pot of ceramic on steel or glass is best, bring to boil and 
set low enough to just simmer. Works great.
No recipes, as I found in my cooking days that anything could be cooked 
in water and is edible.
Your imagination is your best guide, and you could involve the wife & 
kids. Creating stew can be fun, and after all it's how the great recipes 
were invented in the first place.

The flour was only for thickening, and thick isn't necessary.
